Good purchase
Hummingbird nectar was easy to prepare and it's a hit with my hummers!

gazillions of hummers!!
I love those colorful little zingers, so I have multiple feeders outside of my patio. I mix a batch of sugar water and add the Drs. Fosters and Smith hummingbird nectar to it for color and additional sweetness. And they love it. If the feeders are empty, they will zoom and buzz me and chatter up a storm. Once the feeders are again filled, they are again slurping up the food and happy.
This is the third bag I have purchased and will continue to order it in the future. Not having to boil the mix is a huge plus!

Easy to mix, pour & use. They simply love it!
Because we have 5 stations on our front porch, we love how quickly you can make fresh nectar for our small yet beautiful feathered friends. They simply lap it up quickly requiring refills of each station several times per week. For us it is not a task but divine pleasure. Thank you for a wonderful product.

hummers love it
First, thanks to Drs Foster & Smith for the quick delivery. Even though it was late in the hummingbird season (September), the birds were still very active in our area and I ran out of nectar. I received my order in about 2 days, even without expidited delivery. The powdered nectar is easy to mix and the hummers love it. And the powder will keep from year to year so I'll be prepared when the hummers come back next Spring.

Thank you for your question. For many years there has been talk about the red dye in hummingbird food being hazardous to their health. To this day, there has not been any test results or research to prove this statement. If you feel that this may be a threat to your hummers, please try the clear hummingbird food, which will attract them just the same.

The directions state 3:1 water to powder at start and end of season and 6:1 during "season". I have always used 4:1 water to mixes or table sugar. Living in southern California my season is year round, Anna's live in my yard. Does anyone know if a 4:1 mix for this is just fine or too weak? Don't need to attract (got lots) but don't want to be too dilute and have them leave. Thanks for any suggestions.
